Circular Motion• When an object turns about an internal

axis, it is undergoing circular motion or rotation.

• Circular Motion is characterized by two kinds of speeds:– tangential (or linear) speed.– rotational (or circular) speed.

Circular Motion—Tangential SpeedThe distance traveled by a point on the

rotating object divided by the time taken to travel that distance is called its tangential speed (symbol v).

• Points closer to the circumference have a higher tangential speed that points closer to the center.

Circular Motion – Rotational Speed• Rotational (angular) speed is the number of

rotations or revolutions per unit of time (symbol ). • All parts of a rigid merry-go-round or turntable turn

about the axis of rotation in the same amount of time.

• So, all parts have the same rotational speed.

Rotational and Tangential Speed

CHECK YOUR ANSWER

Explanation:Tangential speed = Rotational speed of both bugs is the same, so if radial distance doubles, tangential speed also doubles.

So, tangential speed is 2 cm/s 2 = 4 cm/s.

Rotational Inertia• An object rotating about an axis tends to

remain rotating about the same axis at the same rotational speed unless interfered with by some external influence.

• The property of an object to resist changes in its rotational state of motion is called rotational inertia (symbol I).

Page 9: © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 8: ROTATION.

© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Rotational InertiaDepends upon

• mass of object.

• distribution of mass around axis of rotation.– The greater the distance

between an object’s mass concentration and the axis, the greater the rotational inertia.

Page 10: © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 8: ROTATION.

© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Rotational Inertia• The greater the rotational inertia, the

harder it is to change its rotational state.– A tightrope walker carries a long pole that has a high

rotational inertia, so it does not easily rotate.– Keeps the tightrope walker stable.

Rotational InertiaDepends upon the axis

around which it rotates• Easier to rotate pencil

around an axis passing through it.

• Harder to rotate it around vertical axis passing through center.

• Hardest to rotate it around vertical axis passing through the end.

Rotational InertiaThe rotational inertia depends upon the shape of the object and its rotational axis.

Torque• The tendency of a force to cause rotation

is called torque.

• Torque depends upon three factors:– Magnitude of the force– The direction in which it acts– The point at which it is applied on the object

Torque• The equation for Torque is

• The lever arm depends upon– where the force is applied.– the direction in which it acts.

Torque—Example• 1st picture: Lever arm is less than length of handle

because of direction of force.• 2nd picture: Lever arm is equal to length of handle.• 3rd picture: Lever arm is longer than length of

handle.

Center of Mass and Center of Gravity

• Center of mass is the average position of all the mass that makes up the object.

• Center of gravity (CG) is the average position of weight distribution. – Since weight and mass are proportional,

center of gravity and center of mass usually refer to the same point of an object.

Page 21: © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 8: ROTATION.

© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Center of Mass and Center of Gravity

To determine the center of gravity,– suspend the object from a point and draw a

vertical line from suspension point. – repeat after suspending from another point.

• The center of gravity lies where the two lines intersect.

Page 22: © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 8: ROTATION.

© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Center of Gravity—StabilityThe location of the center of

gravity is important for stability.

• If we draw a line straight down from the center of gravity and it falls inside the base of the object, it is in stable equilibrium; it will balance.

• If it falls outside the base, it is unstable.

Centripetal Force• Any force directed toward a fixed center is

called a centripetal force.

• Centripetal means “center-seeking” or “toward the center.”

Example: To whirl a tin can at the end of a string, you pull the string toward the center and exert a centripetal force to keep the can moving in a circle.

Page 24: © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 8: ROTATION.

Centripetal Force• Depends upon

– mass of object.– tangential speed of the object.– radius of the circle.

• In equation form:

Centripetal Force—Example• When a car rounds a

curve, the centripetal force prevents it from skidding off the road.

• If the road is wet, or if the car is going too fast, the centripetal force is insufficient to prevent skidding off the road.

CHECK YOUR ANSWER

Explanation:

Because the term for “tangential speed” is squared, if you double the tangential speed, the centripetal force will be double squared, which is four times.

Explanation:

Because the term for “radius” is in the denominator, if you halve the radius, the centripetal force will double.

Centrifugal Force• Although centripetal force is center directed, an

occupant inside a rotating system seems to experience an outward force. This apparent outward force is called centrifugal force.

• Centrifugal means “center-fleeing” or “away from the center.”

Page 31: © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 8: ROTATION.

© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Centrifugal Force – A Common Misconception

• It is a common misconception that a centrifugal force pulls outward on an object.

• Example: – If the string breaks, the object

doesn’t move radially outward. – It continues along its tangent

straight-line path—because no force acts on it. (Newton’s first law)

Angular Momentum• The “inertia of rotation” of rotating objects is

called angular momentum.– This is analogous to “inertia of motion”, which was

momentum.momentum.

• Angular momentum rotational inertia angular velocity

– This is analogous to

Linear momentum mass velocity

distance to its axis, magnitude of

Linear momentum mass speed

long string– Planet going around the Sun

Angular Momentum

• An external net torque is required to change the angular momentum of an object.

• Rotational version of Newton’s first law: – An object or system of objects will maintain

its angular momentum unless acted upon by an external net torque.

A. DoubleB. Four timesC. HalfD. One-quarter

Angular MomentumCHECK YOUR ANSWER

Explanation:

Angular Momentum is proportional to radius of the turn.

No external torque acts with inward pull, so angular momentum is conserved. Half radius means speed doubles.

Conservation of Angular Momentum

The law of conservation of angular momentum states:

If no external net torque acts on a rotating system, the angular momentum of that system remains constant.

Analogous to the law of conservation of linear momentum:If no external force acts on a system, the total linear

momentum of that system remains constant.
